Can the 17' Blue Cat Handle Offshore Chaos?

Описание: #CenterConsolesOnly #Bluecatusa #ChallengeTheHull

Welcome to the first episode of Challenge the Hull — our brand new series where we push boats to their limits and see how they perform under real-world conditions!

This time, we took the Blue Cat USA 17' offshore into some rough seas to find out if a small catamaran could hold its own in open water. The mission? Target Mahi Mahi in 800+ feet of water, well beyond what most would consider the comfort zone for a 17-footer.

🌊 Conditions were no joke — choppy waters, unpredictable swells, and a true test of this boat’s stability, handling, and fishability.

🎣 Did we find the Mahi? Did the Blue Cat survive the chaos? Tune in to find out — and let us know in the comments what boat we should Challenge the Hull with next!
